Your review tool should fit the whole job.

When Frame.io fits

Frame.io is built around creative assets and review. Its Version 4 supports custom metadata, collections, sharing, and feedback on media. It is a strong candidate when the main decision is how your production team manages and reviews creative files. Evaluate its wider production ecosystem if that is central to your work.

When Henshu fits

Henshu is worth testing when your agency wants the review beside tasks, team conversation, client workspaces, and social planning. An editor can open the production task for the brief and review, while the account lead checks the next action. Agency plans add branded client sub-workspaces. The question is whether that connected daily workflow is the part you need to improve.

Compare the handoff, not a list of ticks

Use a small real project to test the decision. Put the same brief, media file, deadline, and reviewer into each workflow. Ask the editor to find the next action and the client to leave useful feedback without a call. Include setup, permissions, and the work after approval in your evaluation.

• Test the exact video formats, sizes, and review behavior your clients need.
• Check how a reviewer finds the current cut and how the editor follows the next round.
• Compare the handoff from approved media to project delivery or publishing.
• Keep any specialist editing or production integration you depend on until it is verified.

Move one workflow before moving everything

Keep your current files and history available while you test. Start with one project and confirm how comments, versions, account access, and exports will be handled. Henshu does not promise an automatic import of all Frame.io history. Check the current plan limits and any integrations you need before choosing a replacement.
